Perspective of Scout

Today I saw some really awkward things. First of all I got to see the scary Radley house. We didn’t know the form of intimidation Mr. Radley had. All we knew was that he kept Boo chained to his bed and out of sight. I also can’t believe my brother Jem touched the house. It was like nothing irked him at all. I also feel very well that I am going to start my first day of school. I feel very eccentric about being different from everybody else when I get there. When I started school I had felt very guilty about being very educated. But I feel that I have persevered in my learning of reading. I tried really hard and my dad didn’t stop teaching me. At lunch I made a pronouncement to Walter and I shoved his nose in the dirt for getting me in trouble. But I don’t hate him for doing this.
My dad invites Walter do dinner and I make fun of him and how eats his food. I think he is doing this to get me scared but I am no so sure. Then Calpurnia had to call me into the kitchen to hit me. Walter had got me into trouble once again. I am starting to not like this kid. The next day at school this kid named Burris Ewell had a bug crawl out of his hair. That was very gross. Burris was also a poor kid just like Walter. But Burris was much poorer than Walter. I also learned that Burris is so poor he only goes to school on the first day so that he can avoid any trouble with the law. Near the end of the day I am not feeling very well and my dad asks what’s wrong. I say that I wasn’t feeling well. I didn’t want to go to school anymore and I wanted my dad to teach me instead. My dad starts to talk about how I need to go to school because of the law but he promised me that he would keep reading to me.
